You are right here and I'd love to make it better. The problem was partly
caused that if you are dealing with special stuff (medicine in my case)
LinuxTag people regard you as qualified for moderating sessions or doing
other staff and just recruit you away from your booth duties.

Not a real solution, if you are moderating talks to behave like bloody
bastards who do not know that phone calls disturb the talk.

Correct. We should fix this for the next time by preparing apropriate
sheats of paper and glue to fix it at the apropriate place (don't know
how big "gelbe Zettel" might be ...)

Perhaps the next booth personal should be informed to care for more food
once we were run out?

I think if we proceed like I suggested above we would not have really to
much.

The store room last year was a good idea.

Definitely a good hint.
